What are you supposed to do if you hook one by accident?

What I would do...take hook out while in water and never have a trace or evidence I even saw one!
I'm telling you the Federal wardens would eat this post alive !
The guide who had the Lady in boat said if he ever sees a turtle and if he is catching 5lb trout he is leaving. That's how bad of a deal it was , not local but federal wardens ! He told us if you see a turtle run! Because you don't want to even be close to one to maybe have someone see you close to one!
And if a turtle watcher girl can shut down a multi million dollar project because she saw a sea turtle with in 25 miles of platform .... They take it for real
